BLUE AND WHITE 9A Looks Ahead It seems that 9A has quite a few pro¬ mising young people in it. Tom’s hockey record assures us that he will be a great hockey star. Roy’s ardour in choir re¬ hearsal presages him to become a great singer. Also Beverly W. has already at this early date shown promise of rival¬ ling Paul Robeson. Kazimer we are sure will bring fame to our midst by the mel¬ odious exquisite sounds we hear produc¬ ed on his ‘“Ethiopian Piano”— mouth organ. Marilyn Johnson undoubtedly will pen her way to fame while our Shirley may sail in matrimonial seas humming Mar¬ ilyn’s lullabies. Did you know that Guy Patton has hobbies galore but that we picture him ranking high in aeronaut¬ ics? George Morrison we see in gown and cap, laden with books hurrying to that next lecture. Jane and Eunice we are sure will find success in the literary world. Don Kilpatrick will be singing merrily while he surveys waste mount¬ ain regions and builds bridges such as we have only dreamed of. Willie O’Neil and Joey Grant will cer¬ tainly make for the wide open spaces. Bob H. aims to get his M.D., but we do not recommend six movies a week. Hel¬ en will prove the perfect hostess serv¬ ing Soble Tea and Coffee. Gladys and Margaret R. we vision excelling at the Olympics. Margaret Smith, our popular representative, will charm her way into someone’s heart ere long, we know. Pat and Norman, those bushy pals, will box their way to utmost joy. Daisy . . Well, Daisies won’t tell, but we believe that she and Sadie, in their quiet way will shine in the Hall of Fame. George Turnbull will shine in journal¬ istic spheres with Betty Thompson run¬ ning him a close race. Eleanor and Pearl, Anne and Louise, our petite mem¬ bers have kept hidden the picture they may seek. Bill Allan and Frank will write the “Now” column we are sure if present actions and words count. War¬ ren and Bob haven’t decided what course to pursue but we wish them luck. David, dark and handsome, should out-star Clark Gable. Doris, Betty and Emily, our “Jeanies with the light-brown hair” we feel certain will put Home Economics to very good use. Good luck to all of them! It Can’t Happen in 9B Don Geddes not flirting with someone. Betty Downie not winking at a certain someone. Stuart Johnson without his dimples. Yvonne Weston not posing. Roy Hutton with any work done. Brock Jones not singing. Enid Greenhalf not working. Lenore Batters not looking angelic. Jean Snyder not talking. Bruce Wilson not wiggling his ears. Day Roberts not teasing Miss Evans. Walter Patterson without his red wig. Don Bennett not looking for trouble. Marie Lavis without a big word. Shirley Gible not being a bad girl. Jack Creed not looking for a new way to put a curl in his hair. Gloria Verway not making eyes. George Mall and Jack Small being sensible. Bill Gillet with the key to his locker here. Ted Waffle being the school Romeo. Gordon Vail not looking silly. Fred Hawkworth not asking personal questions. Joyce Gladstone not trying to wink. Jack: Why is love like an apple pie? John: Some crust and a lot of apple sauce. A lecture is the process by which notes of the professor become the notes of students without passing through the minds of either. An egotist is a man who insists on talking about himself when you want to talk about yourself. Page Fifty-seven

BLUE AND WHITE Jirst Jurat GRADE 9 FORM NEWS Ileilo reader, and hov ' are you, This small book belongs to you; And its stories, all that’s in it Is for you to enjoy each minute. The Blue and White will try to be The book for you, the book for me; Full of essays, stories, jokes, Just the thing for all the folks. DICK LARKIN, 9C Some Nautical Definitions Stem—Motive power of stemboats. Reef—Plural of roof. Hull—(See Ottawa). Keel—To murder or to slay. Ships—Coloured red, white and blue and used in poker. Sloop—Noise made when eating soup. Yawl—Pardon my Southern accent. Knots—Short, snappy retort, as in “Aw knots”, or “knots to you”. Helm—Not a nice word. Tow—You most always stub it when you try to sneak into the house without being heard. Famous Sayings of 9-D: A1 Carriere—I forgot my book. Ralph Calaguire—But, Mr. Bunt! Pearl Tiller—I’m just crazy about him. Mr. Young—Get to work. Nick Saad—How do you do it? Who is the girl who haunts the door at the opening of every period? We know, don’t we, Gloria? Definition: A kiss is an anatomical juxtaposition of two orbicular muscles in a state of contraction. HISTORY James I died? (When, oh, when!) Was London Tower built by Wren? What if Columbus sailed the sea— What really does it mean to me? Then “Char-lie” died upon the block, And Guy Fawkes’ plans went on the rock. Aboukir, Trafalgar, and old Toulon Come to remind me of “ ’Poleon”. When sovereigns war upon the foe, I wonder if they really know The trouble that they bring to me, As I strive to learn my history. — M. M. and L. P., 9D. Sports We were hooked! The boys of 9C and 9D want to know why they can’t swim. Attention, Mr. Bunt! Our Members Ten Years From Now. Tom Hornsby—Catching up with his Science notes. Gordon Shaw—A professor. Beth Crittenden—Married. Does Beth drop her books on purpose so that Bob will pick them up? Do you know why Don Sinclair washes his ears so carefully these days? Well, it’s because he wants to hear some of the whispered answers of the exam prompters. Now, Don! Here are some miracles that could . happen in 9-D; Laura Bromley being caught not talk¬ ing in Math, class. Lois Peacock making a mistake. Gordon Shaw pouring over the last of his encyclopaedia to find some larger words. Pearl Tiller finally getting a good mark in Math. Tom Hornsby handing out detentions as a teacher. Bob Millmun leading a happy bachelor life. Marj. Ward becoming bald. Lloyd Kennedy on a soap-box in New York preaching Socialism to the people. Lois Peacock, who gets the highest marks in class, doesn’t like exams. We wonder what the boys who get 30 f ' ( and 40% think of them? You should ask Ken Ouellette to smile some time. He has the cutest dimples you ever did see. Page Fifty-six

BLUE AND WHITE Front Row: E. Musgrave, Mr. McNaughton, Mr. Allison, C. Rose, A. Ellis. Back Row: J. Gubb, N. Clapper, P. Brydges. Boys’ Athletic Executive President Cliff Rose Hon. President - Mr. J. L. McNaughton Vice President Percy Brydges Secretary Army Ellis Treasurer Mr. A. Fletcher Publicity Ernie Musgrave Norm Crapper - Jack Gubb The boys’ athletic executive is elected by the student body to carry out the extra activities concerning sports. This year’s boys’ athletic executive continued the sale of school crests begun last year. The executive sponsored a few tea-dan- ces after the basketball games and ar¬ ranged for bus transportation for the students so that they would be able to see football and hockey games. The ad¬ dition of a publicity group to the boys athletic proved to be a great asset this year. This group advertised all the games and tried to foster more school spirit in the school. We are sure that this year’s executive has carried out its work proficiently and will continue it fine work for the remainder of the term.
